Relative Tissue Factor Deficiency Attenuates Ventilator-Induced Coagulopathy but Does Not Protect against Ventilator-Induced Lung Injury in Mice
Figure 3
Wet-to-dry ratios, number of neutrophil cells, and total protein level in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid after 5 hours in control mice (C) and mice ventilated for 5 hours with lower tidal volumes (L) or higher VT (H). Each group consisted of heterozygote TF knockout mice (TF+/−) and their wild-type littermates (TF+/+). Data represent medians and interquartile range of six mice. Differences between TF+/− and TF+/+ are not statistically significant.
